When everyone first came across Lollipop’s Instagram feed, the visuals were impossible to ignore — bold candy colors, a modern open layout, playful but controlled, sweet without being childish. At first glance, it felt like a design-led indoor playground. But once we designed deeper into the project, this beautiful space became a well-calculated business that understood families and economics almost instinctively.

Today, Lollipop is not only one of the most recognizable indoor playgrounds in its region, but also one of the most profitable. Strong daily footfall, premium ticket pricing, packed birthday bookings, and a social media presence that repeatedly hits TikTok-style viral traction — this playground quickly grew into a local landmark parents trust and children beg to return to.

As the indoor playground manufacturer behind this project, IFunPark was involved long before the first video went viral.

The customer came to IFunPark with a very clear expection: A multi-color candy theme, modern and energetic, designed for today’s social-media-native families. Our role at this stage was not to decorate that idea, but to translate emotion into a commercially workable indoor playground system.

Candy colors are deceptively difficult. Too much, the space would feels chaotic. Too soft, and it loses energy. IFun design and engineering teams worked closely on color rhythm, zoning logic, and sightline control — ensuring the playground stayed visually exciting while remaining operationally efficient and parent-friendly. Every structure height, circulation path, and play density ratio was calculated with one core question in mind: Can this space run full capacity for years without exhausting staff or parents?

This is where manufacturing experience quietly matters. IFunPark optimized structure modularity, material durability, and maintenance logic so that Lollipop could handle high traffic without constant downtime — a key factor behind its sustained revenue performance. 

Since the mall is already very populated, what matters only is how to transit the population into stable visit, and make sure every visitor is taken care of.

Lollipop’s financial success did not come from luck. The playground quickly established strong word-of-mouth locally, allowing it to maintain healthy pricing rather than racing to discounts. High occupancy on weekends and steady weekday traffic turned it into a reliable cash-generating asset.

From IFunPark’s perspective, this is exactly what a commercial indoor playground should be: not oversized, not over-designed, but precisely aligned with its market. The equipment mix was balanced to serve different age groups simultaneously, maximizing dwell time and repeat visits. Operational simplicity was prioritized so the owner could focus on marketing and experience, not daily repairs.

Designing for Sharing, Building for Longevity

One underestimated factor behind Lollipop’s explosive exposure is this: the playground was designed to be filmed.

Wide angles, clean color blocks, strong visual anchors——— IFunPark deliberately adjusted proportions and visual layering so the space would read well on vertical video, short clips, and fast-cut edits. The result? Content that parents naturally want to share, and videos that algorithms seem to love.

But behind those cheerful clips is a structure built to last. Anti-slip flooring, reinforced soft play joints, fade-resistant materials, and child-safe finishes all ensure that what looks good on Day One still looks good after thousands of visitors. Viral attention brings people in once. Build quality is what makes them come back.

Lollipop reflects a broader shift we are seeing globally. Parents are no longer choosing indoor playgrounds purely on size or price. They choose spaces that feel safe, photogenic, emotionally pleasant, and socially validated. In this environment, manufacturers can no longer be just equipment suppliers — they must be problem-solvers who understand business, branding, and long-term operation.

At IFunPark, projects like Lollipop reinforce a belief we hold strongly: a successful playground is a collaboration between a clear-minded owner and a manufacturer willing to think beyond steel and foam.

Lollipop started as a colorful idea on social media. Today, it stands as proof that with the right partner, playful design can turn into serious, sustainable revenue. And that, ultimately, is what we aim to build with every client who walks through IFunPark’s doors.
